Holden Beach is often recognized as one of the best family beaches in the country, and it’s easy to see why. The pristine natural beauty and small-town charm are sure to help you slow down and appreciate your surroundings, whether it’s chasing sidewinder crabs on the beach, boogie boarding in the ocean, or riding beach cruiser bikes around town.

The more adventurous may wish to try fishing, paddleboarding, or kayaking in the ocean or on the picturesque Intracoastal Waterway. Keep an eye out for sea life such as dolphins, or wait for low tide and see what you can find in the tide pools.
